Chapter 266: Trust between people
Not to mention, the topic of Fantastic Beasts and Hogwarts seems to have really piqued the interest of the Poison Panther.
Especially when it came to the section where Lu Wei helped Dumbledore guard the Philosopher's Stone, the Poison Leopard even snorted disdainfully.
It didn't know what the Philosopher's Stone was or what a three-headed dog was, but it didn't matter.
Isn't it just to prevent others from entering that room, you can definitely do better than those stupid dogs with three heads.
It's a big deal, put more poison...... As long as the poison fills the whole castle, no one will enter.
Look, how simple.
While the panther's attention was on Kyle, Newt came up behind it and began to rub its belly.
After about ten minutes or so, the sac poison leopard shuddered and stood up suddenly.
And under it, there is a small cyst poison leopard wrapped in mucus.
As the little one began to move, the slime that wrapped it around it like an eggshell was quickly thrown aside.
The leopard lowered its head and licked it affectionately with its tongue.
But I don't know if it's the first time I've done this, I don't have much experience, it's a little stronger, and the little guy's face is licked and deformed.
"Whew...... It's finally done! Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for so long, his throat was about to smoke.
Kyle looked back at Fawkes, looking for the pint he had preserved.
Needless to say, the result was beaten back by Fox's wings.
"Stingy......" Kyle muttered to his feet.
"Don't worry, it's not over yet."
Newt reminded, "There should be another one." ”
Kyle then noticed that the leopard's belly was still bulging.
After another hour or so, when the third baby leopard was also born, it was finally over.
Newt wiped the sweat from his forehead as he beckoned in a direction not far away.
A larger panther ran up to the door with a fat tebo wart leg in its mouth.
"They're all healthy." Newt smiled and put the little guy next to him, and then left silently with Kyle.
Contrary to his resistance when he came, on the way back, Kyle would look back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance.
"No, Kyle!"
"I know what you're thinking, absolutely not."
Newt said seriously, "I agree with you to take Noble to school because I believe you can restrain it and not let it get out of the box."
But the small cyst leopard is different, they can't control their poison yet. It's too dangerous, not just for you, but for everyone in the castle. ”
If others don't understand, doesn't he understand?
Kyle's look just now was the same as sniffing and seeing a gold coin, and the meaning was not too obvious.
He definitely wanted to carry a small one away!
"I, I know......" Kyle scratched his head, "I was just thinking about it, I wasn't really going to do it." ”
Of course, he knew how dangerous the leopards were, and it was impossible to take them to school.
And the two big ones were right next to them, and he couldn't take them with him even if he really wanted to.
Having said that, Newt subconsciously quickened his pace, and it felt like he was carrying a time bomb on his body.
By the time the two of them got out of the box, the sky was already slightly bright.
They were busy all night.
Kyle is okay, he often stays up late to run to the library, and he's used to it.
But Newt, who is already ninety-five, is different, and as soon as he walks out of the box, he shows obvious fatigue.
But his eyes were still bright.
"Sure enough, it was the right thing to call you."
Newt closes the case and pours Kyle a cup of hot chocolate.
"Leopards usually only give birth to one or two cubs, which is very rare for three in one litter."
"And it's very taxing for them, and it's even life-threatening."
"Thanks to you distracting it, the process went much smoother than I expected."
"No, no, I just talked about the conversation, and I didn't help so much." Kyle waved his hand.
He is only thirteen years old, and he doesn't want to be inexplicably labeled as a "little helper in childbirth".
But Newt just smiled and gave him a meaningful look.
"It's late, go to bed, by the way, you don't need to get up early tomorrow to go to the station, I'll send you back to Hogwarts, and as for your luggage, just let Chris send it over later."
"No, I'll take all the luggage with me." Kyle said.
Before coming here, in order not to arouse Fawkes's suspicion, he deliberately mixed the box containing the diary in his luggage and put it in the box together.
I didn't expect it to save a lot of trouble.
"That's just right." Newt nodded and left.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and picked up the box on the ground and took it away.
The smile on Kyle's face disappeared all at once.
That's too much...... It made him feel like he was going to run into a box in the middle of the night.
Really, trust between people!
Kyle pouted, put the hot chocolate back on the table, and went back to his room to sleep.
He has a separate room here, specially prepared by Newt and Tina.
……
Because he didn't have to catch the train, Kyle slept until noon the next day.
Tina was ready for lunch, and the table was piled with a hill of caramelized hash browns and steaks.
"Is anyone else coming?" Kyle asked, confused.
This amount is too much, let alone three people, thirty people can't eat it all.
"No one came." Tina smiled and pulled out a box, "Don't you like hash browns, these are for you to bring to school." ”
"The steak is for the sac leopard." "She needs a lot of food right now to regain her strength," Newt said. ”
Kyle sat down at the table suddenly.
Tina added several steaks to his plate, stacked on top of each other like bricks.
Kyle didn't refuse, he'd only eaten one hash browns from last night to now, and he'd been hungry for a long time.
After eating, Newt took him to deliver food to the Cyst Leopard family.
The poisonous fog that permeated the grassland had faded a lot, but it was still deadly.
Or on that stone...... The three little ones seemed to remember them, but they weren't afraid of life, and kept wandering around Kyle's feet, pulling his pants every now and then.
The two older ones snuggled up to the rocks, eating the steaks Newt had brought with them, while lazily watching Kyle help them with the baby.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Kyle felt that the train was about to arrive at Hogwarts, and he reluctantly left the place.
Noble and the troll have been secretly transferred to his chest with Fawkes on his back.
Dumbledore is indeed very reliable, and now the space in his box can be said to be beyond the eye, I don't know how many times larger than before.
Dumbledore also helped him with some of the renovation work, turning what had been a few trees into a lush forest, a much larger lake, and two more hills next to it.
Even the climate he adjusted, and near the north side of the lake, it was covered with a thick layer of snow and ice.
